This document discusses research investigating Pythiaceous root pathogens associated with decline of Eucalyptus gomphocephala (Tuart) trees in Western Australia. Several key findings are mentioned:
1) A new Phytophthora species was isolated from declining Tuart trees and soil.
2) Application of phosphite improved crown condition of trees, indicating a potential role of Phytophthora.
3) Loss of fine roots and root tip dieback were observed, suggesting infection by a Phytophthora root pathogen.
4) Further research aims to characterize the new Phytophthora species and evaluate its pathogenicity through inoculation trials.

Medical Devices and Pharmaceutical products have long been separate worlds with distinct regulations.
Advances in technology continue to create new opportunities by merging devices with drugs or biologics to provide previously impossible benefits to patients. As these combination products involve components that are normally regulated under different types of regulatory authorities, they raise several challenges to traditional pharmaceutical companies, not previously exposed to Device regulations.
Compared to drug regulations, device regulations are more diverse depending on the classification of the device. But the safety of Medical Devices has recently become the focus of regulatory activities in Europe following the scandal about industrial silicone breast implants in France, leading to changes in regulations that follow pharmacovigilance principles.
In this presentation Dr Marc Zittartz, Chief Quality Officer at pharmasol, provides an overview on drug-device combinations, the recent regulatory developments, and how this affects the traditional pharmacovigilance activities of pharmaceutical companies.
Hospital Readmission Reduction: How Important are Follow Up Calls? (Hint: Very)SironaHealth
Starting in 2012, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin withholding payments for potentially avoidable readmissions. This presentation reviews these new regulations, what causes excessive readmissions, and how hospitals can positively impact patient health by reaching out 24-72 hours after discharge.

Essentials of Automations: Optimizing FME Workflows with ParametersSafe Software
Are you looking to streamline your workflows and boost your projects’ efficiency? Do you find yourself searching for ways to add flexibility and control over your FME workflows? If so, you’re in the right place.
Join us for an insightful dive into the world of FME parameters, a critical element in optimizing workflow efficiency. This webinar marks the beginning of our three-part “Essentials of Automation” series. This first webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to utilize parameters effectively: enhancing the flexibility, maintainability, and user control of your FME projects.
Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Essentials of FME Parameters: Understand the pivotal role of parameters, including Reader/Writer, Transformer, User, and FME Flow categories. Discover how they are the key to unlocking automation and optimization within your workflows.
- Practical Applications in FME Form: Delve into key user parameter types including choice, connections, and file URLs. Allow users to control how a workflow runs, making your workflows more reusable. Learn to import values and deliver the best user experience for your workflows while enhancing accuracy.
- Optimization Strategies in FME Flow: Explore the creation and strategic deployment of parameters in FME Flow, including the use of deployment and geometry parameters, to maximize workflow efficiency.
- Pro Tips for Success: Gain insights on parameterizing connections and leveraging new features like Conditional Visibility for clarity and simplicity.
We’ll wrap up with a glimpse into future webinars, followed by a Q&A session to address your specific questions surrounding this topic.
Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your FME expertise and drive your projects to new heights of efficiency.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
